Good food and a great place to watch the boats float by

Service was great! Great location too! However even with a covered/shaded seating area, it was extremely hot. They need more fans to handle the heat. Music would also be a delightful addition.

Had the zucchini fries, they are cut like pickle chips. They also had a plant based veggie burger option. $16 for the burger only extra for sides.

Absolutely loved my experience at Dockside! Kardigan was so lovely and kind and was very helpful.

Great place for a yummy, casual dinner! Great view. Very popular, so can have long wait times. The small bar/deck area gets crowded quickly

They will overcharge you.. Watch your bill.. Then they will gass light you and refuse to refund... when you inquire they interrupt you... This place has a lot of potential and was one of my FAVORITE places to go.... Whoever was running the phones in 11-12-24 needs to get another job.. HORRBILE establishment.

Been here a couple of times. The food is good and the atmosphere is even more awesome. The water right there as you’re eating just makes the vibe so good. Could turn any sour mood into one of relaxation and the food just adds the cherry on top to the experience. Loved it. Thank you!

We had the best post wedding party at the new event space at Dockside! Everyone had amazing feedback on the food and their team was amazing to work with. The space was decorated beautifully and everyone enjoyed the wrap around deck.

Kris was so easy to work with and our bar tenders were awesome!

I would definitely recommend Dockside for your next private party!

My fiancé and I are repeat customers at this venue. We ordered crab nachos, which arrived 30 to 40 minutes later, unfortunately cold and soggy. A considerable delay followed, and after 20 to 30 minutes, my crab cake platter arrived, consisting of homemade chips, crab cake sandwich, and chicken tenders with fries, all cold. We received inadequate service from Kensi, who exhibited rudeness and failed to refill our drinks. This disappointing experience has left me questioning whether I will return or endorse this establishment.

Parking: I wouldn’t drive a low ride vehicle because you may bottom out like we did. It definitely scraped the bottom of our car.

Great food and very friendly service. There's two outside dining areas and also an inside area. I definitely recommend dining here. Maybe we'll see you there too.

I've been going to Dockside for almost 30 years and it's my must do when visiting Wilmington. It's not fancy. It's just good food, good service and gorgeous views. I always get the peel and eat shrimp and it never disappoints. My son got the wing basket this time and loved them. The wine menu has improved and I loved they had several rose' options. Erica our server was charming! This place is unpretentious and just has a good vibe. Go in knowing what to expect, grab a cold beer and enjoy some steamed shrimp and watching the boats cruise by.
